CSH PROMPT SETTING 
In (t)csh, here is a better way to
 set your prompt to always let you
 know where on the system you are.
 In your .cshrc file, add
 or set the following line:
 
 set prompt = "%m%/% "
 
 This way, whenever you press return,
 or a job finishes, the prompt will
 always tell you where you are,
 without having to change directories
 first.  Of extra usefulness, the '%m%'
 token expands to the machine name.
 If you work on a multimachine system,
 knowing which machine you're on is
 usually of more immediate importance
 than where on the machine you are.
